Call NumberX-3327CreatorWolle, Muriel Sibell, 1898-1977Date1967SummaryRed Man Hall, a two-story gable-roofed wood building in Empire, Clear Creek County, Colorado, was the lodge for Macinac Tribe No. 29, the local order of the Improved Order of Red Men, founded in 1833 in Baltimore, Maryland. The building became a museum in 1964. Steps lead up to a platform in front of the entrance; signs read "Museum," and "Red Man Hall." An oval image of a Native American wearing a feather headress (war bonnet) is also on the building facade. A covered stairway is attached to the side of the building, and a flagpole is in front, near a tall evergreen. Smaller buildings are nearby, and the mountain is behind.Physical Description1 photonegative : black-and-white ; 7 x 12 cm (2 3/4 x 4 1/2 in.); 1 photoprint : black-and-white ; 8 x 14 cm (3 x 5 1/4 in.)Born-Digital or AnalogAnalogSubjectEmpire (Colo.)Fraternal organizations--Colorado--EmpireCollectionPhotographs - Western HistoryRelated MaterialImage File: ZZR710003327Type of MaterialFilm negativesBlack & white photographsPhotographic printsOriginal Material Found in CollectionWH906.
